Yeah, well dig this. I know of a longtime central PA broadcaster who fired his own son who was managing his station. He fired him on Christmas eve afternoon! I know of another central PA broadcaster who fired one of his AM announcers on Christmas eve day when his AM went automated and the FM was the rising star...or so he thought at the time. I also remember our program director, having consumed too much John Barley Corn, one Christmas Eve, remarking that our FM automation equipment (reel to reel machines) looked like giant panda bears standing there. I'm not naming names because I am the "fried man" and all of these guys are still around. This is one cruel business and as the late W.C. Fields said, "never give a sucker an even break". Where is the "30 Hours of Christmas" when we need it?
